Kith, South2 West8 and Columbia Sportswear Unite for Eclectic Outerwear Collab
Kith, South2 West8 and Columbia Sportswear walked into the design studio, and a tri-branded collection of performance-driven, streetwear-infused, and fly-fishing-inspired outerwear was born. It's officially called Kith & South2 West8 for Columbia Sportswear, and it drops this Friday.Marking the trio's first link-up, the collection is a cocktail of signature Kith and South2 West8 silhouettes shaken with Columbia's penchant for utilitarianism. Standout apparel items include the Tapestry Coaches Jacket, which is made of paisley jacquard tapestry and features all-over custom artwork alongside the threeway logo, and the durable nylon Multi Pocket Jacket, which is designed to carry outdoor necessities with a total of 14 pockets and comes in both black and blue hues.
